Welcome to some more questions and answers here on the old front line.

These are questions submitted by you, the podcast, listeners,

and each month we select some of the best questions that have been submitted via email and the Discord server to answer here and hopefully give us all fresh perspectives

and new knowledge of this vast subject of the Great War. So let's begin.

Welcome to this special edition of our regular Q&A episodes and as part of Air War Month in this extended Q&A.

We'll look at some of the questions, your questions about the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force that you've submitted.

Now I've received an awful lot of questions for this one.

Some of them will have been answered in the main episodes we've already put out.

But here I've chosen five of the best of them.

In fact, some of these questions featured here were suggested by more than one person.

So thanks to all of you who've sent these questions in.

And there's one or two that I haven't been out of feature in this, but I'm going to

keep them back for future Q&A episodes. So the flying core aspect, the air war aspect, hasn't

quite gone away. And I hope that the background episodes, the expert interviews that we've had so

far, and the upcoming final episode linking the subject of the

war in the air to the landscape today. I hope that this sheds new light on this subject,

this layer of First World War history and I'm sure that it is something we will return to.

And this whole thing really has been an experiment to feature one subject over the course of multiple episodes.

And it's something that I hope to repeat again down the line in the next season of the podcast, perhaps, focusing on a particular army or a particular battle.

Let's see.

Anyway, let's get down to these special Q&As that have been submitted by you, the

listeners, for this special episode on the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force.
